stacyk9 Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 Does anyone share a little holiday cheer by giving the cashier a little something? I've been thinking of doing something, especially this year, since many workers are giving time up with their families on Thanksgiving Day to work.

mgmckny Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 Long time ago I used to give candy canes or something. When I was in retail I had a few regulars that would bring me a drink, but it was a small store and they knew how hard it was for me to get out to take a break...

laddhorn Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 Just ask before you give. Some retail places don't allow the employees to accept tips. Sometimes "forced" tips will go into a pool that is eventually used for a store party (usually just disappears) and sometimes the employee is just fired (depends on manager.) When I worked retail, I would refuse tips that just went into the pool because we never saw the benefits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lusha121 Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 I do every year! Just a small candy cane. but a reminder that not everyone has lost their minds and there is humanity and kindness left in the world.... end of shift can be hard, especially after you have been yelled at for 8+ hours by angry people! With a smile, and a thank you. I've been there, and something as simple as a thank you means a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DivaOfDeals Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 The best gift or tip you can give someone in retail or service is tell their boss you had a good experience with them, so they get a positive mark on their employment record when they come up for raise or promotion.

catholicbride11 Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 No because most places don't allow employees to accept gifts or tips. The best gift is to find a manager and let them know what a great job the employee is doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakesmommy403 Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 If someone is pleasant and doing s great job, I take their names and register number and then call on Saturday and talk to a manager. Last year I called Walmart about my awesome cashier and the manager was very excited to hear about my experience. Likewise, if a store is doing a great job as a whole I'll call corporate.
